A few ideas for 2009

Expand the use of Earth Point in the Boise, Idaho market. Team up with a local Realtor®. Promote Earth Point in the local media.

Allow the user to save their search criteria for real estate listings. Email an alert whenever a listing is added to the list.

Create a "favorites" page for real estate listings. Allow the user to add lisitngs to one or more favorites lists. Map the lists to Google Earth. Email an alert to the user anytime the price or characteristics of a listing changes.

Add instructional videos demonstrating the use of Earth Point.

Move higher in the search rankings by providing good content. Currently, Earth Point is number 80 in a Google search for Boise Real Estate, number 10 for Google Earth Real Estate, and number one in Google searches for Township and Range and Excel To Kml.

If you have more ideas for making Earth Point a better web site, please add a comment.

Earth Point

EarthPoint.us maps southwest Idaho real estate listings onto Google Earth and Google Maps. Earth Point is the only web site that maps properties with roof-top accuracy and draws the property lines. Earth Point does not rely on conventional geocoding to locate the properties. Rather, the properties are defined by ESRI shape files which are produced by county assessor offices and converted for use by Google Earth and Google Maps.
